Availability varies by feature and device. This appears under the Health Data tab and includes critical updates and abnormal events from the last 24 hours. ● Geofencing - if the person you care for has the INS LifeGuardian® personal alarm, you can set a virtual boundary yourself and be notified if it's crossed.
